THE JOHNSON FAMILY: Aunt Edeltrud

Matt and Mandi

Matt and I met on a blind date and after a very short three weeks were engaged. We have been married for almost 9 years and have three wonderful kids. We live in Vegas and love it. Our family loves to take family vacations, swim, go camping, have hot cocoa and pumpkin bread in the winter, play the wii, and go to the park. Matt is a CPA and started his own firm two years ago with a partner. He stays really busy but still manages to find time to golf. Matt loves his kids, ME (of course!), peanut butter cups, trips to watch the cowboys play, sports, going to the gym, UNLV, and startling me and the kids. I am a mom and love the hectic life we live. I love snuggling with my kids, a good massage, a good book, the gym (especially spin class), a clean house, Diet Coke, Pictures, the way my kids smell after a bath, chocolate, shopping, funky shoes, Matt's laugh and smile, purses, trips with my hubby, cheesecake, a good laugh and hugs from my Matt and my kids.

Rilee Brynn

Rilee, "Ri", "Riles" or "Betty" is seven, in second grade, and such a sweet shy girl. Rilee is always looking out for everyone else and is a really good big sister. She loves to read, scrap booking, do her dolls hair, root beer floats, all fish, her dog Liesl, writing sweet notes to mom and dad, listen to her ipod, play with her cousins and best friend Gabby, swim, Disneyland,watching the Cowboys play with Dad, getting her nails painted, shoes, cooking with mom, jewelry, and boogy boarding at the beach. Rilee is taking golf, piano and a hip hop class. She has the biggest heart and I could not ask for a better daughter.

Treyvan Kent

Treyvan, "Treyv","T-Bone" or "Homes" is four, in pre school and a very energetic boy! Treyvan will do anything for a laugh and loves to be the center of attention. Our funny boy is also very stubborn and has to be firts at EVERYTHING. He is a good little and big brother even though he wishes he had a brother. Treyvan loves to go anywhere with his dad (especially baseball games), all super heroes, pirates and star wars, Disneyland and the beach, Mahi Mahi, playing with the maes gang and his cousins, anything sweet, swimming, reading books with mom, being sung to, wrestling, watching sports with dad, and cars. Treyvan is taking a Karate class twice a week and loves it! His eyes make me melt and I am so glad to have such a full of life boy.

Rowyn Shei

Rowyn, "Rowe" "skinny" "little" or "tiny" is the sweetest baby ever! She is just fat and happy. She is 9 months old and weighs 26 lbs. I just want to eat her little chubby thighs and wrists. She wears a 2T and it is hard to find shoes that will fit. She never cries and loves to be around her brother and sister. Rowyn loves binkis, baths, and her bed. She is very ticklish and has a really cute laugh. She loves all food and likes to play peek a boo and hang upside down. She has been such a joy to have in our home and we all love her.

Aunt Edeltrud

Matt's aunt Edeltrud came to visit last week. We were able to go out to dinner with her and then invade Johnny and Steph's house with all the Johnson clan (18 grandkids and 13 Adults) for a feast of Brats! Matt makes a really dang good Brat I have to say! It was lots of fun and we were so sad to see her go. I wish I knew how to say anything to her in German. Matt taught our kids to say haltegosh (shut up ) but that is all I know. Thanks Johnny and Steph for letting us crash your house!
